Ministry to Parents Podcast
The Ministry to Parents Podcast exists to help children's ministry and youth ministry leaders take the confusion out of ministering to parents. But the M2P podcast isn't just for ministry leaders; we aim to be the go-to podcast for parents, grandparents, guardians, volunteer leaders who serve alongside kids or teenagers, and anyone else who shares our passion for seeing families thrive! In each episode, the M2P team and our special guests will share tips, hacks, and some fresh ideas on topics like how to care for your own soul, how to build a solid plan for parent ministry, how to encourage parents through the parenting journey, or how to help parents lead their kids spiritually. Our promise to our listeners is that the time you spend listening to the M2P podcast will be rewarded with honest discussions, relevant topics, thought-provoking questions, practical insights, and entertaining conversations. For free resources, show notes, or to learn how you can go from wishing you could equip parents to having the means to make it happen, visit www.MinistryToParents.com.

#082: Rich Griffith and Voices
As we all move along our journey of life, we are no doubt shaped by what we encounter. Our experiences and the people we encounter have a tremendous impact on who we are. This is especially true of kids and teenagers. Kids and teenagers have many voices and influencers in their lives. As we attempt to disciple the children and teens in our church, in our homes, and in our community, we need to pay attention to the voices in their lives and do everything we can to surround them with the “cloud of witnesses” they need to grow in their faith.
On this episode of the M2P podcast, you’ll join Sass, Amy, and Kerry as they bring to you an interview they recorded while at the 2024 D6 Conference in Orlando, FL. The M2P team had a great conversation with pastor, author, professor, and dad Rich Griffith, about the power of surrounding kids and teens with the positive influences they need. Rich shares a lot of great nuggets from his book Voices: Helping Our Children and Youth Listen to Wise Counsel. Rich has many years of experience both in ministry and as a parent. Rich and the M2P team offer some great insight and encouragement to those of us leading kids and teenagers. It really is a great conversation!
